Not since the days of Richard Nixon have liberals been so angry, so anxious about regaining power. Look at today’s bestseller list; Titles like Dude, Where’s My Country, and Bushwhacked… are all in the top ten. But it’s not just the President they’re mad at. Many Democrats blame their own party for its lack of a clear or inspiring message. Its a challenge former Clintonite John Podesta has taken to heart. He’s created a new liberal think tank that aims to reinvigorate the party with what many say is missing — the next big idea. This hour, the former Governor of New York state Mario Cuomo and John Podesta on how Democrats can persuade America that the people who invented the Great Society and the New Deal can still come up with new ideas.

Guests:

Mario Cuomo, former Governor of New York

John Podesta, former Chief of Staff for the Clinton Administration.
